A convincing and easy illusion you can use to get attention and interest in your magic9/15/2018

What you get is a ring in an attractive gold colour, with an ornate twisting design, and small card with some basic instructions. There's no sleight of hand required whatsoever, since it's purely an optical illusion, caused by the clever design and the way the light falls on the shiny ring. You can spin the ring in different directions, to make it either apparently grow or shrink. The illusion is very convincing when viewed correctly, and it does look terrific. The challenge is how to turn it into some magic. The ring itself appears to be metal, because it feels too heavy to be plastic, but it is still quite light-weight. But it does seem to be fairly well made, and doesn't immediately scream "cheap". The Optical Illusion Ring isn't a show stopper by any means, nor is it something you'd build a routine around or do as a trick in isolation. But as a fun gimmick, that typically sells for just under $10, it is well suited to grab people's attention, and to lead into some other magic. When keeping that in mind, it's a piece of shininess that is good at doing what it does, even if it is just 30 seconds of entertainment ahead of some more serious magic, and to get people interested in you and your magic.
